But he didn't do that. At least, he often did the opposite. He scolded his experts, he diminshed the covid threat (first called it a hoax, then repeatedly claimed it will just go away), he mocked Biden for wearing a mask, he mused about injecting disinfectants, he recommended an explicitly not recommended drug, he lied about the situation (often implying all is fine and no big deal)... and so on, I repeat my points. But these are all Donald Trump leadership failures. Has nothing to do with the left or his critics or how some critizism might be unfair.
And again, it's more symptomatic than important, but he published a biased poll where 90% trust him and 10% trust Fauci. He goes in full opposition to his medical experts.

I just wonder.
Regarding the list of Donald Trump failures, which I did repeat just now in part (not a complete list by any stretch), I would assume a different president would have saved a lot of lifes. I don't mean a "good liberal president", I also think a president bfine would have saved a lot of lifes. You would have listened to your own experts instead of belittling them, you would have shied away from holding big rallies in a time where big ralles are counterintuitive, you would not have told lies about the virus and its spread. And you would at least have urged people to wear masks instead of mocking those that do.

Yeah well, I feel my stance is backed up by this curve.
